Good book despite errors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Yes, there are errors in this book and I agree that there should have been much better editing but nonwithstanding, it's a good book. It fills the gap well between a tutorial and a reference manual. In fact, fixing the errors reinforces the learning, otherwise you are getting less benefit by simply typing in the example code. The text gives you enough knowledge to fix the code. The downloadable code on the associated site has been corrected (the site could be better publicised in the book). The book covers a lot of ground and the info is well presented. I certainly don't regret buying it, I've found it most useful.
